[4.0] "He's someone who I feel like should have made it to a level higher than what he did. Though no one will think he was amazing in the ring, he was a good talker. But that never translated to much success as a single or as a tag team. When he & Parker came in as part of Jericho's groups, I was hoping they'd be able to find success as slimy heels who got wins through underhanded ways. But they hardly even wrestled. With his ability on the mic, I was hoping for something akin to what we saw from Enzo. But it never came. It seems like he's settled into a commentator role. He's decent at that, but even there, I don't think he's as quick as someone like Lawler."

[5.0] "Daddy Magic is not particularly a good wrestler, he really struggled in that are in some matches that I've watched, but he's an excellent talker, which equal things up, he's very charismatic and good with words, I'm sure that he will be a full-time commentator in the near future, he has the ability for that, and for this reason, he's a valuable asset for a company to have."

[9.0] "I saw Daddy Magic on the indies and he was fun but not really anything special. However his promos in AEW are so amazing that I think he has a lifetime ahead of him of being an amazing manager, commentator or really anything where he just gets to speak."

[8.0] "He's good on promos, having a somewhat of a Macho Man vibe, but nothing special in the ring, being quite grounded for a smaller guy. He is a natural color commentator or hype man, and his run as Daniel Garcia's wrestling dad is going quite well."

"Daddy magic is one of my favorites, his comedy is absolutely amazing. His ring skills are pretty average, but he is a promo God, I hope he gets more tv time in aew. Can't wait for him and Angelo Parker get some sort of title. The promo would be fantastic."

[5.0] "A ton a fun on the mic, he can cut the most hilarious (or occasionally very intense) promos and is a great cracked out character to add energy to any stable. However, he's not much of a wrestler. Much like Danhausan, Daddy Magic is better as an enhancement character than a ring worker."

[4.0] "Not a big Daddy Magic fan. He is alright in the ring but he is nothing special. He does show some mic skills but is very annoying on the mic to me especially when he is trying stupid catchphrases. Not a fan of his commentary either."

[9.0] "Daddy magic has an insane amount of charisma and for my money he is one of the best promos on the aew roster currently. I also believe he is one of their best characters. Every time he is on screen for a segment he is 9 times out of 10 the best part of that segment."

[7.0] "Crazy, absolutely magnetic charisma and a fantastic promo. Unfortunately he's not really very good in the ring, especially as a singles guy. As a tag specialist he's worth having around. However, his character work solidifies him as a legitimate pro wrestler."

[4.0] "Decent wrestler, but he tries way too hard in promoing that it often comes off as inauthentic and almost always irritating to my ear."

[8.0] "I always thought that 2point0, him and Jeff were underrated. From my pov, there are a great Team, but also good Wrestlers. In Comedy of course, but not only."
EthanParker wrote on 17.07.2017:
[6.0] "Very honest and charismatic wrestler. Loud mouth, trash talking and entertaining as a heel on the Quebec scene. You usually get your money's worth seeing him live. Reminds me a bit of Enzo, in terms of promo abilities and mostly ground-based, non-aerial wrestling style for a small guy."
